I've used Ubuntu before for running a server but those days are now over. Last week I decided to use it as my primary OS for home use. I've run into three problems all related with running windows programs on linux. I should start out by saying I'm running Ubuntu 64x on my computer.

First Call of Duty 4 Modern Warfare lags on my computer. I understand this because it only runs smoothly on lowest graphics on my windows partition.

Second Team Fortress 2 refuses to launch. http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManage...rsion&iId=9901 tells me to try to launch it with no intro and that command just doesn't seem to be taken by terminal or the shortcut. Linux can't find steam.exe even if I browse to that folder in terminal (though steam itself launches fine by the shortcut).

fglrx-amdcccle-updates is already the newest version.
fglrx-updates is already the newest version.

The thing that really gets me is World of Goo runs fine on my system (linux native) and that needs direct rendering to do so. I know that seemed long winded but I wanted to show that I have tried to solve it and I'm still at a loss. Any help would be appriciated.

AMD uses it's own configuration tool for their Catalyst drivers.

DRIConf is for the XOrg Driver. DRIConf will not work with proprietary drivers like FLRGX and Nvidia.

Do I understand you right that you are running those programs from a Windows partition? You don't have installed them into Wine?
If that my be what causes your problem, try it again with installing them into Wine.

The Catalyst drivers support S3TC without any extra configuration.

why do you think Call of Duty doesn't work? It's just a black screen. If Catalyst Drivers support S3TC does that mean its automaticly on
